Mike's 40th Beer Tasting Party!

Mike turned 40 this spring and I threw him a casual backyard "beer tasting" party.  We set out different kinds of beer around our back patio for tasting and I put out glasses in case people truly wanted "just a taste (not sure one person elected that option).  I put mustaches out to label everyone's beer so no one would get confused.  And I covered the back porch with zillions of photos of Mike through the years.  They were so fun to check out.  :)  Salsarita's was a huge hit for dinner and Dao's cake pops were the hit for dessert.  Pretty sure people were fighting over them.  These photos are a combination of mine, Trish's and Dao's.  Thanks girls for snapping a few!
